Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when an aqueous solution of nitric acid (HNO3) is mixed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Indicate the physical states of the reactants and products using the abbreviations (s), (l), (g), or (aq) for solids, liquids, gases, or aqueous solutions, respectively.

Answer 1

Answer:  $HNO_3(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base reacts to form salt and water.

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).

The balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction:

$HNO_3(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaNO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Answer 2

HNO3(aq)+NaOH(aq)= H2O(l)+ NaNO3(aq)
